fs: dlm: fix DLM_IFL_CB_PENDING gets overwritten

This patch introduce a new internal flag per lkb value to handle
internal flags which are handled not on wire. The current lkb internal
flags stored as lkb->lkb_flags are split in upper and lower bits, the
lower bits are used to share internal flags over wire for other cluster
wide lkb copies on other nodes.

In commit 61bed0ba ("fs: dlm: use a non-static queue for callbacks")
we introduced a new internal flag for pending callbacks for the dlm
callback queue. This flag is protected by the lkb->lkb_cb_lock lock.
This patch overlooked that on dlm receive path and the mentioned upper
and lower bits, that dlm will read the flags, mask it and write it
back. As example receive_flags() in fs/dlm/lock.c. This flag
manipulation is not done atomically and is not protected by
lkb->lkb_cb_lock. This has unknown side effects of the current callback
handling.

In future we should move to set/clear/test bit functionality and avoid
read, mask and writing back flag values. In later patches we will move
the upper parts to the new introduced internal lkb flags which are not
shared between other cluster nodes to the new non shared internal flag
field to avoid similar issues.
